This is Andrea's 6th release on ZOHO music which was released in 2012. This is Andrea's first jazz release as she started moving back to her first love, jazz. The guest artists on this CD were Wallace Roney, Wycliffe Gordon, Todd Bashore, Yasek Manzano, Bill O' Connell and Chembo Corniel. It received rave reviews. ~ Andrea Brachfeld Bandcamp.
Lady of the Island is a wonderful mix of musical selections to be enjoyed by everyone from the studied musician to the casual listener. The tunes on this recording swing hard and groove hard, and are executed at the highest level of musicality and musicianship. To date, this may be the clearest representation of Andrea's expression through her music. Though she has varied tastes in musical approaches and stylistic interpretations, she is a hard bopper at heart, and this is obvious on this date. ~ Wycliffe Gordon, Cover Notes.
